Merit Alfetta and Talbot Lago models

I know this is the TNF but perhaps not every one knows that the Merit kits of the 1950-51 1 1/2 litre Alfa Romeo Alfetta and the 4 1/2 litre Talbot Lago are still for sale..
They are now made as inexpensive kits by SMER and an unique piece of model hobby history, 45 years old..

They're nice. I built mine few years ago and I still adore Talbot Lago. Sadly I lent Alfetta for an exhibition in Zagreb Fair and it was returned to me in such a shape that I almost cried... It was a hard way to learn that I never nd my models to anyone...
And don't ask me about these damn wheels - I never had it right!

I was at a Toy Fair today and a dealer had some built and nicely painted Merit kits for £10 each so you don't need to pay that much for them, sadly he had sold the Cooper 500 and the Gordini before I got there. I assume collectors only want boxed unbuilt examples and will pay more for those.
